BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an imaging lens. In particular, the present invention relates to an imaging lens of a two-lens structure that is capable of reducing size and weight and enhancing optical performance. The imaging lens is used for an image-taking device that forms an image of an object, such as scenery or a human figures, on an image-taking surface of a solid image pickup element such as a CCD, CMOS, etc. The solid image pickup element is mounted on a portable computer, a television phone, a portable phone, and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for cameras that utilize a solid image pickup element, such as a CCD, CMOS, or the like, which is mounted on a portable phone, a portable computer, and a television phone, for example. It is demanded that a camera such as this is small and light because the camera is required to be mounted on a limited installation space.

Further, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a high-optical-performance lens system capable of sufficiently utilizing resolution capabilities of solid image pickup elements having a high resolution exceeding one million pixels. Achieving a balance between size and weight reduction and improvement in optical performance is becoming increasingly important.

From this perspective, a two-lens structure lens system that is smaller and lighter than a three-lens structure lens system and superior to a single-lens structure lens system in optical performance is advantageous. Lens systems, such as those described in Patent Literatures 1 and 2, have been proposed as such two-lens structure lens systems.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved the Invention

However, the lens systems described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 are both disadvantageous in that a second lens is a lens having positive power, and effective aberration correction through combination of powers of a first lens and the second lens is difficult to achieve.

In addition, the lens system described in Patent Literature 3 is disadvantageous in that size and weight reduction is difficult to achieve because power distribution on a first face of the first lens is not optimal.

The present invention has been achieved in light of the above-described problems. An object of the invention is to provide an imaging lens having improved optical performance while being reduced in size and weight.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to achieve the aforementioned object, an imaging lens according to a first aspect of the present invention is an imaging lens used for forming an image of an object on an image-taking surface of a solid image pickup element comprising, in order from an object side to an image surface side: a diaphragm, a first lens that is a lens having a positive power whose convex surface faces the object side, and a second lens that is a lens having a negative power whose concave surface faces the object side, wherein a condition expressed by the following expressions (1) to (3) are to be satisfied:

0.1≦r ₁ /r ₂<0.1  (1)

0.85≦f ₁ /FL≦1  (2)

0.1≦d ₃ /FL≦0.3  (3)

where,

r₁: center radius curvature of the object side face of the first lens

r₂: center radius curvature of the image surface side face of the first lens

f₁: focal distance of the first lens

d₃: center thickness of the second lens

FL: focal distance of the entire lens system.

In the invention, when the diaphragm is disposed closest to the object side, positioning of the diaphragm in a same position in an optical axis direction as a point on the optical axis (referred to, hereinafter, as a surface apex) of a surface (convex surface) of the first lens on the object side cannot be avoided. In addition, the surface apex and surrounding area of the surface of the first lens on the object side passing through the diaphragm and being positioned (projecting) closer to the object side than the diaphragm cannot be avoided. Even in this instance, because the diaphragm is physically positioned closer to the object side than the overall first lens, the configuration does not depart from the description in the scope of claims. To reduce the size of the optical system, the diaphragm is preferably positioned closer to the image surface side than the surface apex of the surface of the first lens on the object side.

In the first aspect of the invention, the diaphragm is disposed closest to the object side. The first lens is a positive lens that is convex on the object side. The second lens is a negative lens whose concave surface faces the object side. In addition, the condition expressed by the expressions (1) to (3) is satisfied. Therefore, optical performance and productivity can be improved while achieving size and weight reduction.

Productivity, herein, means not only the productivity for mass-producing the imaging lens (such as moldability and cost when the imaging lens is mass-produced by injection molding), but also easiness of processing, manufacture, etc. of equipment used for manufacturing the imaging lens (such as easiness of processing a mold used for injection molding) (the same applies hereinafter).

In an imaging lens according to a second aspect is the imaging lens according to the first aspect, wherein, further, a condition expressed by a following expression (4) is further satisfied:

0.45≦r ₁ /FL≦0.53  (4)

In the second aspect of the invention, the expression (4) is further satisfied. Therefore, further excellent balance can be achieved among size and weight reduction, improvement in optical performance, and improvement in productivity.

In an imaging lens according to a third aspect is the imaging lens according to the first aspect, wherein, further, a condition expressed by a following expression (5) is further satisfied:

0.65≦d ₂ /d ₁≦1.25  (5)

where,

d₁: center thickness of the first lens

d₂: distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis.

In the third aspect of the invention, the expression (5) is further satisfied. Therefore, a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while maintaining productivity.

0.65≦d ₂ /d ₃≦1.1  (6)

where,

d₂: distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis.

In the fourth aspect of the invention, the expression (6) is further satisfied. Therefore, a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while maintaining productivity.

0.1≦d ₁ /FL≦0.3  (7)

where,

d₁: center thickness of the first lens.

In the fifth aspect of the invention, the expression (7) is further satisfied. Therefore, further excellent balance can be achieved between size and weight reduction and maintenance of productivity.

In the sixth aspect of the invention, the expression (8) is further satisfied. Therefore, further excellent balance can be achieved between size and weight reduction and maintenance of productivity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

An embodiment of the imaging lens according to the present invention will be described hereinafter by referring to FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, an imaging lens 1 of the embodiment comprises, in order from the object side towards the image surface side, a diaphragm 2, a resin-type first lens 3 which is a lens having a positive power with its convex surface facing the object side, and a resin-type second lens 4 which is a lens having a negative power with its concave surface facing the object side.

Herein, each of the lens surfaces on the object side and the image surface side of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 is respectively referred to as a first face and a second face.

On the second face side of the second lens 4, there are disposed an image-taking surface 5 which is a light-receiving surface of a solid image pickup element such as a CCD or a CMOS, respectively.

Various filters, such as a cover glass, an infrared (IR) cut filter, and a low-pass filter, may be disposed as required between a second face of the second lens 4 and an image-taking surface 5. The IR cut filter may be formed on any one surface such as the second face 3 b of the first lens 3 or a plurality of surfaces, among each lens face of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4.

In this way, according to the embodiment, high telecentricity can be ensured as a result of the diaphragm 2 being positioned closest to the object side. Therefore, an incidence angle of light incident on a sensor of the solid image pickup element can be relaxed.

According to the embodiment, the second lens 4 is a lens having a negative power, while the first lens 3 is a positive lens that is convex on the object side. Therefore, effective aberration correction can be achieved through combination of powers between the second lens 4 and the first lens 3.

Moreover, according to the embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expressions (1) to (3) are satisfied:

−0.1≦r ₁ /r ₂<0.1  (1)

0.85≦f ₁ /FL≦1  (2)

0.1≦d ₃ /FL≦0.3  (3)

where,

r₁ in the expression (1) is center radius curvature of the object side face 3 a of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). r₂ in the expression (1) is center radius curvature of the image surface side face 3 b of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). f₁ in the expression (2) is focal distance of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). d₃ in the expression (3) is center thickness of the second lens 4 (the same applies hereinafter). FL in the expressions (2) and (3) is focal distance of the entire lens system (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of r₁/r₂ is less than the value (−0.1) shown in the expression (1), aberration correction effect on a peripheral part of the second face 3 b of the first lens 3 weakens. Achieving desired optical performance, while ensuring size and weight reduction of the overall optical system, becomes difficult. On the other hand, when the value of r₁/r₂ is equal to or greater than the value (0.1) shown in the expression (1), the center radius curvatures of both a first face 3 a and the second face 3 b of the first lens 3 become too small. Manufacturing an injection-molding mold used to manufacture the first lens 3 by injection molding, while ensuring size and weight reduction of the overall optical system, becomes difficult.

Therefore, according to the embodiment, by the value of r₁/r₂ being set to satisfy the expression (1), optical performance and productivity can be improved while achieving size and weight reduction.

It is more preferable for the relation between r₁ and r₂ to satisfy an expression −0.1≦r₁/r₂≦0.05.

Here, when the value of f₁/FL is less than the value (0.85) shown in the expression (2), the power of the first lens 3 becomes too large compared to the power of the overall optical system. Therefore, achieving the desired optical performance becomes difficult. On the other hand, when the value of f₁/FL is greater than the value (1) shown in the expression (2), the power of the first lens 3 becomes too small compared to the power of the overall optical system. Size and weight reduction of the overall optical system becomes difficult to achieve.

Therefore, by the value of f₁/FL being set to satisfy the expression (2), excellent balance can be further achieved between size and weight reduction and improvement in optical performance.

It is more preferable for the relation between f₁ and FL to satisfy an expression 0.85≦f₁/FL≦0.95.

Here, when the value of d₃/FL is less than the value (0.1) shown in the expression (3), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the second lens 4 becomes difficult when the second lens 4 is manufactured by injection molding. On the other hand, when the value of d₃/FL is greater than the value (0.3) shown in the expression (3), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thick compared to the overall length of the optical system. Size and weight reduction become difficult to achieve.

Therefore, by the value of d₃/FL being set to satisfy the expression (3), productivity can be maintained while more effectively reducing size and weight.

It is more preferable for the relation between d₃ and FL to satisfy an expression 0.15≦d₃/FL≦0.3.

0.45≦r ₁ /FL≦0.53  (4).

Here, when the value of r₁/FL is less than the value (0.45) shown in the expression (4), the center radius curvature of the first lens 3 becomes too small. Therefore, the first lens 3 becomes difficult to manufacture. On the other hand, when the value of r₁/FL is greater than the value (0.53) shown in the expression (4), the overall optical system becomes too large. Size and weight reduction becomes difficult to achieve.

Therefore, by the value of r₁/FL being set to satisfy the expression (4), excellent balance can be achieved among size and weight reduction, improvement in optical performance, and improvement in productivity.

It is more preferable for the relation between r₁ and FL to satisfy an expression 0.48<r₁/FL≦0.52.

According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (5) is satisfied:

0.65≦d ₂ /d ₁≦1.25  (5)

where,

d₁ in the expression (5) is center thickness of the first lens 3 (the same applies hereinafter). d2 in the expression (5) is distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 on the optical axis 6 (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of d₂/d₁ is less than the value (0.65) shown in the expression (5), the distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 becomes too narrow. Inserting a blocking shield or the like between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 to effectively block unnecessary light becomes difficult. In addition, edge sections of respective optical surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 become too close to each other, thereby increasing generation of unnecessary light. On the other hand, when the value of d₂/d₁ is greater than the value (1.25) shown in the expression (5), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the first lens 3 becomes difficult when the first lens 3 is manufactured by injection molding.

Therefore, by the value of d₂/d₁ being set to satisfy the expression (5), a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while maintaining productivity.

It is more preferable for the relation between d₁ and d₂ to satisfy an expression 0.65≦d₂/d₁≦1.2.

According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (6) is satisfied:

0.65≦d ₂ /d ₃≦1.1  (6).

Here, when the value of d₂/d₃ is less than the value (0.65) shown in the expression (6), the distance between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 becomes too narrow. Inserting a blocking shield or the like between the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 to effectively block unnecessary light becomes difficult. In addition, the edge sections of respective optical surfaces of the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 become too close to each other, thereby increasing generation of unnecessary light. On the other hand, when the value of d₂/d₃ is greater than the value (1.1) shown in the expression (6), the center thickness of the second lens 4 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the second lens 4 becomes difficult when the second lens 4 is manufactured by injection molding.

Therefore, by the value of d₂/d₃ being set to satisfy the expression (6), a means for effectively blocking unnecessary light can be appropriately employed while maintaining productivity.

It is more preferable for the relation between d₂ and d₃ to satisfy an expression 0.65≦d₂/d₃≦1.

According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (7) is satisfied:

0.1≦d ₁ /FL≦0.3  (7).

Here, when the value of d₁/FL is less than the value (0.1) shown in the expression (7), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thin. Manufacturing the first lens 3 becomes difficult when the first lens 3 is manufactured by injection molding. On the other hand, when the value of d₁/FL is greater than the value (0.3) shown in the expression (7), the center thickness of the first lens 3 becomes too thick compared to the overall length of the optical system. Size and weight reduction become difficult to achieve.

Therefore, by the value of d₁/FL being set to satisfy the expression (7), excellent balance can be further achieved between size and weight reduction and maintenance of productivity.

It is more preferable for the relation between d₁ and FL to satisfy an expression 0.15≦d₁/FL≦0.3.

According to a more preferable embodiment, a condition expressed by a following expression (8) is satisfied:

0.9≦L/FL≦1.2  (8)

where, L in the expression (8) is entire length of the lens system, in other words, distance from the surface positioned closest to the object side to the image taking surface 5 on the optical axis 6 [air reduced length] (the same applies hereinafter).

Here, when the value of L/FL is less than the value (0.9) shown in the expression (8), the overall length of the optical system becomes too short. Productivity during an assembly process of each of the lenses 3 and 4 deteriorates. On the other hand, when the value of L/FL is greater than the value (1.2) shown in the expression (8), the overall length of the optical system becomes too long. Mounting in a small camera of a mobile phone or the like becomes difficult.

Therefore, by the value of L/FL being set to satisfy the expression (8), balance can be more effectively achieved between size and weight reduction and maintenance of productivity.

It is more preferable for the relation between L and FL to satisfy an expression 0.95≦L/FL≦1.2.

Moreover, examples of a resin material used for molding the first lens 3 and the second lens 4 may be materials of various compositions with transparency, such as acrylic, polycarbonate, amorphous polyolefin resin, etc. However, from the perspective of further improving the manufacturing efficiency and further reducing the manufacturing costs, it is preferable that the resin materials of both lenses 3 and 4 are unified and are the same resin material.
